Lawmaker - Working Poor
24, 101, 5-80
Another nightmare morning commute to the city
New generation, same factory floor
Only good for taxes, votes and war
Everyone is leaving, looking for a way out
So sick and tired, living hand to mouth
Yeah, we keep on giving but they always want more
Was working class, now I'm working poor
They're building a future that's not for me
No life, no happiness, no Liberty
Stuffed in the back of the transit train, I feel my life slowly slip away
Good for taxes, votes and war, new generation, same factory floor
Work and dignity, means nothing to them, but it's everything to me
Yeah, we keep on giving but they always want more
From working class to working poor
Another day down the drain, I got nothing to show
I got a pocket full of nothing, I got nowhere to go
Yeah, they're building a future that's not for me
I'm a ghost from the past in this shell of a city
My slumlord landlord I've never even met
I'm worked to the bone, still crippled by debt
They'll bleed you dry, until there's nothing left
A knee to your neck, until you choke to death
Yeah, they're building a future that's not for me
No life, no happiness, no liberty
Stuffed in the back of the transit train, I feel my life slowly slip away
Good for taxes, votes and war, new generation, same factory floor
Work and dignity, means nothing to them, but it's everything to me
Yeah, we keep on giving but they always want more
From working class to working poor
Stuffed in the back of the transit train, I feel my life slowly slip away
Good for taxes, votes and war, new generation, same factory floor
Work and dignity, means nothing to them, but it's everything to me
Yeah, we keep on giving but they always want more
From working class to working poor
From working class to working poor
From working class to working poor
From working class to working poor
From working class to working poor
From working class to working poor
